Whats your favorite debut album?

[Liquid Tension]

Forgot one of the best metal debuts I know (A bit surprsied it hasn't been mentioned yet):

Disillusion - Back To Times Of Splendor

But it has....

 

[Wander]

But it has....

Oops... I didn't search the last page!

 

[RoadKing]

Finally got my copy of Agalloch - Pale Folklore.



Fucking. Incredible.

 

[Blackwater Demon]

Tool - Opiate
Opeth - Orchid
Pink Floyd - Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

 

[Lenni]

Disillusion - Back to Times of Splendor
Ridiculously good, almost perfect album for a progressive death metal band (in terms of production and songwriting anyway). They released two EPs before but this was their first full length.

^I hadn't thought of them, that is a very good debut your right.

 

[Talking Meat]

Did it really take till page 3 to get to Appetite for D?

Air - Moon Safari
Phish - Junta
Smashing Pumpkins - Gish
MF Doom - Operation: Doomsday
Iron & Wine....good call, definitely a no-brainer

(leaving aside some 2nd comings like QOTSA, Frank Black or El-P)

 

[Carta's]

Ne Obliviscaris - The Aurora Veil

Does it count as a debut? Well, it's still mind blowing even if it doesn't.

 

[Ruun]

Metallica - Kill Em All
In Vain - The Latter Rains

 

[BefriendedUnit]

Herzeleid - Rammstein

Say what you will about the band but it's a fucking strong debut.

Korn's first album, no contest! Pure raw energy and emotion unlike anything else before (or after). Jonathan was a freak and didn't give a damn what anyone else thought. I guess today the production would be considered bad, but I still think that album has the greatest sound.

 

[aaronjs]

Led Zeppelin I

Descent by Dawn of Tears was pretty damn remarkable.
